The thunderous applause washed over Alex, a wave of unexpected validation that sent a warm flush through his cheeks. 

As the clapping subsided, the Master of Ceremonies, sauntered back to the microphone, a triumphant glint in his eye.

"Well said, Mr. Ten! A truly inspiring message! Now, to officially mark the beginning of this new chapter, with the count of three, Aethelgard Academy declares itself open, seeking the next generation of heroes!"

Another wave of enthusiastic applause swept through the hall as the students eagerly awaited the countdown.

"One…" The Master of Ceremonies boomed, his voice echoing off the high walls.

The students joined in, a collective countdown humming through the air.

"Two…"

"Three!"
